    In Australia, we used to call it a spit roast.
  2. I have some of their Bacon Salt. Not bad, but the BLT I had for lunch today is better
  3. I have often wondered what would happen if you used a cable impedance matched to an RCA connection, and switched out 75ohm termination resistors at either end for whatever resistor is appropriate...... From my understanding, that would work extremely well, without having to resort to BNC connections. Anybody smarter than me care to comment?
  4. I did specify switching But I absolutely agree...... an AC wallwart feeding a regulated supply is a great solution. Much cheaper than a shielded transformer.
  5. That is definitely a better way to spend your money IMHO. I mean seriously, who of us here use the switching wallwarts that this product is designed to replace?
  6. When I was first planning to put BNC on my Buffalo, I was going to with Neutrik. They have a whole range of true 75 ohm coax connectors: Neutrik - Video - BNC 75 Ω Never got round to it though. Just didn't seem important enough to chase down the silver/solder/isolated connector to match my other Neutrik sockets.
  7. I can't think of a single scenario where I would prefer to use this instead of, say, a Sigma 11 or 22 at about 1/4 of the cost.

    Fluke 179?

    ..... and mine arrived today as well I'm very happy with it. Fairly well built, good probes, nice enough case. DC and AC mV both register very low or zero with probes shorted, and resistance is just 0.1 ohms. Accuracy seems pretty good for what I can measure quickly. 1.5k Vishays measure as 1.501k, 562 Xicons measure as 561.2. Four spare 10nF caps I have measure in the range of 9.62-9.74nF. Diode test might be a touch off...... of the few LEDs I have spare (none of which are high end mind you) a 1.7V measures 1.58V, a 2.0V measures 1.7V, and a 3.6V doesn't measure at all.
  9. You need to go through the channel setup. Seriously, there are guides all over Google for this sort of thing.
  10. Have you also set up your playback software to actually use ASIO as the output device? In foobar, for example, you have to set up individual devices. Then you can select between those devices at your leisure. Nothing needs to be set up in ASIO4ALL.

    Fluke 179?

    Still waiting on mine. In fact, I'm currently waiting on several things that are all running quite late

    Fluke 179?

    Perhaps it comes with extra special 'probes'?
  13. Hmmm, sounds good, but the sugar is an interesting inclusion. I was always taught that sugar (well, fructose in particular) was a big no-no unless you were using, say, molasses or brown sugar in a porter or stout. But I never tried to brew a Belgian Blonde either. In any case...... do you keg or bottle?

    I can't see why he went off the road...... he wasn't even traveling that fast!
  15. Its not true. Its audiophool bullshit. Perhaps I should have added sarcasm tags to let you know that I was making fun of you?
  16. Improvements from digital cabling always include tighter bass......
  17. Where is the option for it doesn't matter? If you have decent equipment, then you should be able to use any connection method without too much stress. Sure, you might be able to see jitter or a sloppy SPDIF signal on a scope, but IMHO audibility of such things is tenuous at best - unless you are very specifically listening for it.
  18. HEH! I was just reading your thread
  19. Awwww, bugger Am I the only person who had a good day?!?
